They rarely miss an opportunity to take a pop at the Church, and today they voted in favour of the Private Members' Bill to legislate for abortion.
From RTE's website:
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said he was personally not in favour of abortion, but said he was against judging or criminalising women who opted for terminations.
He said he had to set aside his personal convictions and face up to his legislative duties.
In the same way, no doubt, that all the Sinn Féin MP's who refused to take their seats in Westminster "set aside their personal convictions" in favour of "legislative duties". I wonder if Adams leaves his republican and nationalist convictions outside the door of the Dáil? Why take two sets of convictions into the chamber?
I agree with you 100%. It is only logical for a group that took innocent life outside the womb to see no problem doing the same inside it.
ReplyDeleteA good way of putting it!
